Dreamhost hijacking my prefix...

Fri Jan 11 16:46:57 UTC 2013

Hi,
Here's a quick summary of what we saw at BGPMon.net.

At 2013-01-11 14:14:13 we saw announcements (seemingly) originated by
26347, for prefixes normally announced by other ASn's (origin change /
hijack).

This seems to have affected 112 prefixes for 110 ASn's [1], including
Rogers, Tata, Sprint, Ziggo, Verizon, KPN, Vodafone, CloudFlare, XS4ALL,
AT&T, Bell Canada and many more.
Most of these were new more specific(!) announcements.

With regards to next-hop ASN's (peers). It seems this hijack was
propagated via 12 unique (AS26347) peers [1]

A quick look at the prefix that was mentioned by Jeff, 150.182.208.0/20
(more specific of 50.182.192.0/18)
The first announcement for this prefix was seen at 2013-01-11 14:14:28
and withdrawn at 2013-01-11 15:20:57.  It was detected by 42 unique peers.

some example paths:
271 6939 26347
5580 26347|
37312 5713 6939 26347
1126 24785 12989 26347

[1] I've posted some details  (Unique next-hop ASN's and affected origin
ASN's), check if your AS was affected here:
